Ma Hongjun stood in the corner of the room, his fingertips trembling slightly, the emotions surging in his chest almost overwhelming him.
No longer the carefree, lewd man he used to be, his eyes now held the restlessness brought on by his evil fire, replaced only by the relief of surviving a calamity.
He looked down at his still-childish hands, feeling the remaining level 28 soul power within his body, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
In his previous life in the realm of gods, although he achieved the position of Phoenix God, he was always a marginal figure among the gods, with weak strength, and could not even protect the people he wanted to protect.
Now, he has been reborn back to his teenage years, and it's not too late for everything.
Those past regrets and pains now have a chance to be made up for.
Looking at Dai Mubai's almost obsessive pulling at Zhu Zhuqing, and seeing Oscar's hypocritical and indifferent attitude when Ning Rongrong was in danger, Ma Hongjun instantly understood.
These two guys also regained their memories from their past lives.
A complex emotion welled up inside Ma Hongjun, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
Others may not know Dai Mubai and Oscar's ways, but he knows them all too well.
But... he's not exactly a good person either.
Forcibly seizing goddesses and treating lowly and weak officials as playthings was nothing more than commonplace for them, a "spice" in their monotonous lives in the divine realm.
He still remembers the time he witnessed Dai Mubai forcibly abducting a goddess who had ascended to the realm of gods from another world, and the goddess's desperate cries echoed through the sky.
But Dai Mubai smiled smugly, while Oscar beside him fanned the flames.
Then there's Zhu Zhuqing. In her previous life, she lived like a caged bird in the God Realm. Although she was the God of Speed, she was controlled by the Asura God Tang San at every turn.
Ning Rongrong's situation wasn't much better. Oscar's philandering and heartlessness, along with Tang San's indulgence, meant she had absolutely no chance of getting ahead.
I had also stood up for them, but they were ultimately Dai Mubai and Oscar's lawfully wedded wives.
He shouldn't have been involved in this kind of thing.
Later, he couldn't bear to watch any longer; the despair in the eyes of those goddesses and low-ranking priests pierced his heart like needles.
It reminded him of his deceased wife, Bai Chenxiang.
She was originally qualified to ascend to the realm of gods, but an accident occurred on her path to godhood, causing damage to her essence and preventing her from reaching the realm of gods.
Seeing Dai Mubai and Oscar so decadent.
He thought of Tang San.
He thought Tang San would uphold justice and stop Dai Mubai and Oscar's actions.
But when he mustered the courage to find Tang San and tell him everything, he was met with even deeper despair.
Tang San looked at him with a gentle yet distant smile and told him in a calm tone.
“Hongjun, the God Realm has its own rules. There are some things that you shouldn’t meddle in.”
At that moment, Ma Hongjun realized that this seemingly fair and selfless god-king had already joined Dai Mubai and Oscar's "carnival".
They colluded and used their power and strength to turn the divine realm into a paradise where they could do whatever they wanted.
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun's eyes became complicated.
That's right.
He later joined Tang San and his friends in their revelry in the God Realm.
Because he was well aware of the price he would pay for not fitting in.
Only after that did he fully understand that the divine realm was almost no different from the continent. The divine realm had a strict hierarchy, and its system could only be described as corrupt and decadent.
Moreover, these are not isolated cases.
Reborn, he met Tang San again, who seemed harmless.
But he knew that beneath this skin lay the future god-king, cold-hearted, selfish, and lenient towards evil.
He didn't know how to face Tang San.
What puzzled him even more was Dai Mubai's attitude towards Fu Qin.
Just moments ago, Dai Mubai was attacking Fu Qin with a fierce look in his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, he was treating Fu Qin like a brother.
This is extremely unusual.
Who is Dai Mubai? He is the infamous God of War in the God Realm, known for his violent temper and arrogance. Apart from Tang San, has he ever been so kind and gentle to anyone else?
Moreover, Fu Qin was only a level 34 Soul Master, and in front of Dai Mubai, the future God King, he was just an insignificant little character.
However, Dai Mubai treated Fu Qin differently, and the complete change in his attitude left Ma Hongjun completely puzzled.
He looked up and gazed ahead.
Fu Qin stood in the center of the room, tall and handsome, with a faint smile on his lips, calmly responding to Dai Mubai's "goodwill".
His eyes were calm and unwavering, as if the conflict with Dai Mubai just now was a trivial matter.
Despite being just a teenager, he exudes a composure and mystery far beyond his years.
In particular, the formidable physical strength he displayed when clashing with Dai Mubai earlier shocked Ma Hongjun.
This Fu Qin is definitely not simple.
Ma Hongjun thought to himself.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly eerie and subtle.
Dai Mubai approached Fu Qin with great enthusiasm, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Brother Fu Qin, it was a misunderstanding just now. I was just missing Zhu Qing too much and lost my composure for a moment."
Don't worry, from now on we're brothers. If anything happens, I'll have your back!
His heterochromatic eyes were full of "sincerity," as if he wasn't the one who had just tried to kill Ning Rongrong.
Fu Qin smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He could sense the faint malice emanating from Dai Mubai. Although it was suppressed by the aura of reduced intelligence and the buff of divine luck, it had not completely disappeared.
Fu Qin remained vigilant towards this war god who had regained all his past memories.
Ning Rongrong stood beside Fu Qin, her small hands tightly gripping his sleeve, her face full of confusion.
She really couldn't understand Dai Mubai's thought process. He was fierce and menacing just now, but now he's so enthusiastic towards Fu Qin. He's like a madman.
However, seeing Fu Qin's calm and composed demeanor, her unease gradually dissipated.
At this moment, she felt that as long as Fu Qin stood by her side, he could give her the greatest sense of security.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against Xiao Wu's chest, her cold and beautiful features still somewhat pale, her eyes filled with vigilance as she looked at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's pulling earlier still lingered in her mind, and his current change in demeanor sent chills down her spine.
She couldn't understand why the other person had suddenly become like this; that deep-seated obsession and madness filled her with fear from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Wu's eyes held a hint of coldness and wariness.
As a reborn person, she naturally knew the true nature of Dai Mubai and Oscar.
She just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly exposed after regaining their memories.
Oscar stood to the side with a fake smile on his face, but his eyes were secretly sizing up Fu Qin.
Like Dai Mubai, he was wary of Fu Qin's strength.
The clash between Fu Qin and Dai Mubai just now made him realize that this seemingly ordinary boy was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
As Ma Hongjun looked at the bizarre scene before him, his doubts deepened.
